Top Hotels Near Alum Bay Beach in Totland Bay from NZ$120

"The hotel is beautiful and modern which we liked. It did lack in some big areas and I frankly expected better. The toilet was dirty on arrival and I don’t mean just a little. There were dried urine stains over the seat, the toilet, the base and the floor. Not sure how this could even be missed (which I can only assume means they don’t clean properly). It was resolved straight away but we shouldn’t have had to ask. The staff in the hotel were good. However, not so much at the onsite restaurant (The Rock). We found the service to be poor at the restaurant. We had to wait nearly an hour for a simple main meal which we were told was because of a lack of staff. This wasn’t communicated until after we paid. The prices are also too expensive. We had breakfast every day at this restaurant. The value for money is poor. They do not make it clear what is included. They will only let you order 1 item from the hot menu which is not stated anywhere. So you could effectively be paying £25 for some hot porridge. You also have to self serve everything including hot drinks and toast etc. At this price point I would expect a level of table service. Finally, the room is lovely. The terrace and view is amazing. We loved this. Again though there were some minor things that could be improved. This isn’t a cheap hotel and they need to have a better finish and eye for detail. Carpet edges and joins frayed. Holes in bedsheets. Cracked lampshades. It’s a shame but we probably wouldn’t return."

"Wonderful stay, everything was great, especially the hot tub, which we really enjoyed. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. We stayed 3 nights and had an amazing experience overall. Vanessa at the reception was very nice and helpful and guided us well. The only small point was the pool hours until 5 PM, which we wish it had been open longer."

"Friendly staff snd good food."

"Brilliant House, in a great location, and all ten of us had a wonderful holiday!However, as we booked for Christmas week, we paid a large premium, and didn’t expect to find stained sofas with rips in, and essentially a lot of wear and tear (this is not the place to list them, but think dirty blinds etc) that should not be in a property sold as “luxury”. The house itself, is wonderful, but the fixtures and fittings no longer live up to that label.The fridge freezer broke down during our stay, and the owner was brilliant and organised a replacement straight away.*One thing that is worth noting is that we brought along our dog, and although the garden is great, and would be well used in Summer, it is not fully enclosed as the gate to the house remains open."

"The breakfast was great, just what I needed "

"Everything was excellent "

"Our stay at this bungalow was simply outstanding. It was clean and comfortable. It was offering a beautiful view and provided a perfect escape from the everyday hustle."

"This lived up to its description and was ideal for our stay. Very clean and comfortable, and a lovely welcome from our hosts who made the effort to come over and introduce themselves, and make sure all was ok for us. Thank you both. Tim and Sue"
